AITCH

is an artist and illustrator from Romania. She draws inspiration from Romanian folk art, Naive Art, Portuguese tiles, to naturalistic illustrations of plants, but her work always has a very personal dimension - from her recollections of dreams, to illustrated diaries and memories of childhood and family life. She’s been a part of numerous art shows in Romania, but also in cities like Vienna, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Aalborg, San Jose…

I started drawing weird, chubby, fantastic creatures during my studies at the University of Art and Design in Timisoara, Romania, as a subversive reaction to the academical ways of treating human anatomy. My artistic work ranges from pink, cute, elegant, to sometimes creepy, semireligious, bizarre characters, mixed in surrealistic sets.
